If It Had Not Been for the Lord

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If it had not been for the Lord on our side When strong raging floods surrounded us We'd be surely crushed beneath the waves of sin If it had not been for If it had not been for the Lord [Verse 2] If it had not been for the Lord on our side When dry desert plains had wearied us But for grace we'd still be wandering in those lands If it had not been for If it had not been for the Lord [Chorus] Our hope our help from age to age the same Our God our rock most worthy to be praised From this mount of grace our grateful hearts will say Evermore, if it had not been for the Lord [Verse 3] If it had not been for the Lamb on that cross Wherе love full and free reached down to us (rеached to us) There would be no peace with God, no peace with man If it had not been for (if it had not been for) If it had not been for the Lord [Chorus] Our hope our help from age to age the same Our God our rock most worthy to be praised From this mount of grace our grateful hearts will say Evermore, if it had not been for the Lord [Verse 4] If it had not been for the Lord on that day Before Heaven's throne what would we say There with endless wonder we will shout Amen If it had not been for (if it had not been for) If it had not been for the Lord (ooh) [Chorus] Our hope our help from age to age the same Our God our rock most worthy to be praised From this mount of grace our grateful hearts will say Evermore, if it had not been for the Lord (if it had not been) If it had not been for the Lord
